Former Fulham and Aston Villa assistant wants Rangers job

Former Fulham and Aston Villa assistant manager Ray Wilkins has thrown his name into the ring for the managerial vacancy at out of form Scottish Premiership club Rangers according to talkSPORT.

The Gers have been without a permanent boss for over a month since the club sacked Portuguese boss Pedro Caixinha following a poor run of results.

Former Reading defender Graeme Murty has been left in caretaker charge at Ibrox however he looks unlikely to land the role on a permanent basis following surprise back-to-back defeats to both Hamilton Academical and Dundee.

With the managerial merry-go-round at Rangers turning into something of a real saga, 61-year-old former Fulham and Aston Villa assistant Wilkins has indicated that he would like to become the new Rangers boss.

Wilkins did actually manage Fulham for a short spell way back in the late 1990’s before working in an assistant role at a whole host of clubs including Chelsea, Watford, Millwall and the England Under-21 international side.

The coach managed the Jordan national side for a short spell around three years ago but won just one of 12 matches in charge either side of his spells as an assistant at both Fulham and Villa.

Wilkins was with Fulham for just six weeks in his second spell at the club before being dismissed as part of a management restructure. His time at Villa Park saw him assist former Villa boss Tim Sherwood as the former Blackburn Rovers and Tottenham Hotspur midfielder looked to turn around the club’s fortunes in the English Premier League.
